I'm guessing saddle height is measured from center of BB to top of seat in that chart? If that is the case, my bike, as pictured, is right at the upper limit per the sizing chart. I measure from the pedal spindle since not all my bikes have the same length cranks. I was initially a little concerned about it being too small but, as I've used it for some off pavement touring, figure the extra bit of standover isn't a bad thing at all. Maybe I've just gotten used to the visual of it but it doesn't look too weird to me and I've had no trouble getting all the touch points where I want them.
A big consideration for me was the likelihood of finding a larger frame somewhat local in how much time. I decided the likelihood wasn't good. No regrets.
